Oreck first use.

[Nomad74]

Well, it arrived.

So far I'm impressed. I love the beater bar, the light weight, plenty of suck, and the long power cord. I also love the smell-good tab that you drop in the bag.

Dislikes: Only 10" of cleaning area per pass and no edging tool.

Please let us know at what point you break it.

It almsost already happened. The little plastic handle almost snapped under my powerful manly grip.

 

[dealtimeman]

Oh that's too bad.

Vacuum heaven

What next? If Mikey suggests a George Forman grill?

You don't see me using a 10" crb do you? However, I am considering buying an airport shuttle van and ripping out the seats. I hear it's worth it having the rear A/C vents and extra windows.

 

[Nomad74]

It looks like I already lost possession of my new Oreck. My wife tried it and totally loves it compared to our Kirby. Looks like the Kirby is going back on the van.

Jimmy is just sour that only Marty was stupid enough to buy a Castex.


Oreck is king.

 

[Jimmy L]

Even I knew NOT to buy that oreck POS.

 

[Mikey P]

doesnt have an edging tool.....


good god, would you buy a horse than complain that it does not have wings?

 

[D Luke]

I also got a brand new vacuum today. As you can see I went a different way from the tiny motor and narrow cleaning path.

 

[hogjowl]

You don't need wings on a horse.
You do need to edge when you vacuum.

Seeing you recommend that POS vacuum is really disappointing.

 

[Bob Pruitt]

I like the red color.

 

[Nomad74]

My wife is very excited to have this vacuum. So it's good in my book.

It's feather light, if the lack of edging is bothering you @hogjowl you can attach the small cannister vac Mikey also loves (for furnature) with some tape or zip ties and boom...problem solved. It will need two cords now, so it's sorta like a portable but with low amps you can plug them both into the same outlet.

 

[hogjowl]

I've already got a super vac that edges without needing tape or bungee cords

I'm sooooo going to do this!

Mike, I'm just going out on a limb here, but i'm guessing your favorite part of the movie Jaws was the part where Richard Dreyfuss cut open the belly of the Tiger Shark and pulled out a license plate.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I ditched my Orecks in the 1990's because of David Oreck's tv commercials.

Orecks are not in the vacuum cleaner category.
They stand alone and proud in the "Lint Movers" category.

At least unlike the previous POS Shark, they don't rip out the staple fibers.

That's an improvement

Bunch of closed minded know it alls

A vacuum without an edger is like a three legged horse. I've owned two orecks for janitorial jobs and several sanitairs of the same style. They move a ton of air, dust and fine particles. For that they are epic. But I would have rocks and large debris all over. And dirty edges. I'll take a Windsor or pro team over an oreck every day.

Lol

What are you vacuuming, your front lawn?


Rock and large debris? Huh?

Shoot a video of your self vacuuming uph with that two ft pro team hose.

Someone doesn't own a long haired German Shepherd.

 

[Small town janitorial]

I vacuum public buildings. From health clinics to power company offices to tire shop mats to libraries... Any pebble you find in a parking lot gets tracked in and they just get shot around in an oreck.
Not having an edging tool is like a barber without a neck buzzer. I don't care how sharp their scissors are if your neck looks like a homeless guys.
